What’s of interest? En-ROADS

Tell me more!


En‑ROADS is a global climate simulator that allows users to explore the impact that dozens of policies—such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and improving agricultural practices—have on hundreds of factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise.

Developed by Climate Interactive, MIT Sloan, and Ventana Systems, En-ROADS is a system dynamics model carefully grounded in the best available science, and has been calibrated against a wide range of existing integrated assessment, climate, and energy models. En-ROADS runs on an ordinary laptop in a fraction of a second, is freely available online, offers an intuitive user-friendly interface, and is available in over a dozen languages.

Experiencing En-ROADS changes how people think about climate change and how they feel about it at a visceral level. In government offices around the world, in classrooms and corporate boardrooms, we have seen how testing alternate scenarios motivates users to step up and take action. More than 301,000 people in 177 countries—including more than 130 members of the US Congress—have taken the time to use En-ROADS.

Alan,

I’ve seen this before. I’d love to see them add a way to show the impact of more or less AI usage.

I know the Climate Interactive team is working on a model update that directly includes new dynamics about energy for AI use. Hope to see that soon!
